DESCRIPTION
Appletree House is an impressive detached home offering generous accommodation throughout, with well-balanced room proportions perfectly suited to modern family living. The property has been thoughtfully improved retaining its welcoming character while introducing a range of high-quality enhancements that elevate both the home and its surroundings. Large windows fill the principal rooms with natural light, while the layout provides excellent flexibility for families of all ages.
At the heart of the house is an impressive kitchen and breakfast room with a traditional Aga and generous kitchen island, creating a natural gathering place. A separate dining room provides an elegant setting for family suppers and catering for larger numbers, while the spacious sitting room enjoys a feature fireplace and provides a warm retreat. A further cosy snug offers a quieter sanctuary, complemented by another large reception room, currently utilised as a playroom. The ground floor layout also includes a separate utility room and cloakroom.
The first floor continues the sense of space with five well-proportioned bedrooms, four of which are comfortable double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, with extremely generous dimensions and an en-suite bathroom. A second bedroom also benefits from its own ensuite shower room, and the remaining bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom.

OUTSIDE
The outside space is a defining feature of Appletree House. Immediately to the rear, an intricately paved terrace has been designed with outdoor family life and entertaining in mind, incorporating a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, dedicated dining area and separate seating space centred on a firepit. The swimming pool has been comprehensively transformed, with attractive new paving, practical changing facilities, storage and additional seating creating a comfortable space to enjoy throughout the warmer months.
The expansive lawn stretches towards open countryside, where mature apple trees—giving the property its name—provide a beautiful backdrop. A substantial fruit cage creates a productive kitchen garden.
Beyond the house, the detached double garage is accompanied by a superb home office that benefits from air conditioning and enjoys attractive views back towards the main house, making it an ideal space for home working.
The combination of the gardens, ample driveway parking, a detached double garage and open village views complete a home that offers an exceptional lifestyle in a peaceful Wiltshire setting.
